I don't think the potential for collision is too bad: in those cases
in which we have collisions, we can simply create a page listing the
multiple possible meanings, something along the lines of:
> Format

For the egg pages we would simply prefix them (so format-modular would
become egg-format-modular).
This is just what wikipedia does.
I think the advantage of not requiring users to type the "sym:" or
"sym/" each time they use this functionality is larger than the
disadvantage of having the clashes. Basically, think of it as just
one namespace where a user can search for pretty much anything and
expect to find something useful.
Alejo.
